Section R2-17-106. Computation of Time; Additional Time After Service by Mail

A.      In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these rules or by order of the Board, the day of the act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. The last day of the period so com- puted shall be included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. When the period of time prescribed or allowed is less than 11 days, not including the time for mailing permitted in subsec- tion (B), intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays shall be excluded from the computation. When that period of time is 11 days or more, not including the time for mailing per- mitted in subsection (B), intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays shall be included in the computation.

B.       Whenever a party has a right or is required to do some act or proceed within a prescribed period after the service of a notice or other document upon the party and the notice or document is served by mail, 5 calendar days shall be added to the pre- scribed period. This subsection does not apply when time is counted from the date that a party receives the notice or other document.
